IU men's golf team, new asst. head to Louisville

By Jeremy Rosenthal · Monday, Sept. 29,2008 12:08 a.m.

Two tournaments and two individual champions spell early-season success for the IU men’s golf team. Last week, the team also beat defending champion UCLA by 23 strokes. Junior Alex Martin – who won the most recent tournament, the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational – said he hopes to gain confidence but added the team finish also meant a lot to him.

No. 6 Iowa overpowers IU field hockey team

By Nathan Hart · Monday, Sept. 29,2008 12:07 a.m.

Last November, Iowa ended IU’s season with an 8-2 victory in the Big Ten Tournament. In the Hoosiers’ first chance for revenge this season, it was more of the same. The No. 6 Hawkeyes (7-2) overpowered IU (5-4) with a 6-1 victory Friday afternoon at the IU Field Hockey Field. The Hoosiers played on their heels most of the day with only one shot on goal in the first 52 minutes. By the time sophomore Lena Grote scored IU’s lone goal in the 60th minute, Iowa was on cruise control with six scores of their own.

2 quarterback system looks promising

By Dave Leno · Monday, Sept. 29,2008 12:04 a.m.

If you believe the Michigan State game was a must-win, you’re wrong. You’re being oblivious to the fact IU has two-thirds of its schedule left to play. Of the eight games to come, seven are Big Ten duels, including this week’s matchup at Minnesota. If you disagree, go to your local barber and rant in the chair, ’cause I don’t want to hear it.

Women's golf finishes 6th in Wisconsin invitational

By Jeremy Rosenthal · Monday, Sept. 29,2008 12:02 a.m.

The IU women’s golf team knew the course in Wisconsin was going to be difficult, but still thought it could come out on top. And so, despite falling to a sixth-place finish Sunday in the Badger Invitational, IU coach Clint Wallman still took some positives away from the tournament. “We didn’t bring our ‘A’ game, but we were still in contention,” Wallman said. The IU coach added that competing well while not at the top of their games is something good teams must do.

Men's soccer felled by Gauchos

By Greg Rosenstein · Monday, Sept. 29,2008 12:01 a.m.

With three losses in their past four games, the UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos were supposed to be the team struggling on both sides of the ball Saturday night. Think again. The Hoosiers (4-2-2), who hoped to build on a three-game winning streak, fell to the Gauchos 2-1 after a lackluster first half put them in an early deficit too wide to overcome.

IU volleyball battles hard, but falls at home to rival Purdue

By Ari Shifron · Monday, Sept. 29,2008 12 a.m.

In front of one of the largest and most energetic crowds to ever watch an IU volleyball match, the Hoosiers suffered a heartbreaking loss to No. 19 Purdue on Saturday at University Gym.  With a crowd of 1,442 fans backing them up, the Hoosiers fought point for point with the Boilermakers before eventually dropping a five-set thriller.

Friday Night Tailgate visits Bloomington

By Lee Hurwitz · Sunday, Sept. 28,2008 11:59 p.m.

Before the IU football team was handed a 42-29 loss to Michigan State on Saturday, IU fans were able to enjoy a little extra popularity in Bloomington when the Big Ten Network came to visit. The station broadcast its show, “Friday Night Tailgate,” live from the Sample Gates between 8:30 and 10 p.m. Rather than dissect the Hoosiers’ chances against the Spartans, the premise of the show is to have a little bit more fun with the school it visits.

Spartan offense outguns Hoosiers

Marcus Thigpen was the Hoosiers’ revolver in their shootout against Michigan State on Saturday. Unfortunately for IU, the Spartans brought two guns to the duel and outshot the Hoosiers 42-29.

Infractions and miscues loom large

By Lee Hurwitz · Sunday, Sept. 28,2008 11:56 p.m.

Rather than seeing nothing but green turf Saturday, the Hoosiers saw yellow-colored flags all afternoon. In what has become a common theme for IU the last two weeks, penalties have tortured the Hoosiers, coming at inopportune times. Upset at the loss but still proud of his players, IU coach Bill Lynch did not have much to say when it came to fixing those mistakes. “We’ll work on them,” Lynch said. Against Michigan State on Saturday and Ball State the week prior, the Hoosiers combined for 16 penalties at a cost of 166 yards, none bigger than sophomore offensive lineman Cody Faulkner’s hold in the third quarter against the Spartans. Down five points and just shy of two minutes remaining in the third quarter, sophomore quarterback Ben Chappell launched a pass to sophomore wide receiver Terrance Turner over the middle of the field that resulted in a 97-yard touchdown.

Changing to French currency

By Bonnie White · Sunday, Sept. 28,2008 11:20 p.m.

I was beginning to think the phrase “studying abroad” was a nice euphemism for a semester vacationing in a foreign city while still receiving college credit. That was until my classes started last week.
